This election just goes to show that billion-dollar campaigns and highly popular, qualified candidates are simply no match for cheating.

But an even more amazing effect of the cheating is that previously reasonable pundits are talking about Democrats being out of touch, not cheating.

denisestrong.bsky.social•28 days ago

It makes you wonder if the very unpopular Senators in some red states really won their races in the past several elections. Mitch McConnell, Ted Cruz to name a couple

nrg10.bsky.social•25 days ago

My thoughts exactly! Cuz when I saw his rallies and when especially he came to my area! They were shipping people from other places to come to his rallies! We saw it cuz we were there protesting his rally!

itscpendz.bsky.social•28 days ago

I don’t think Ted Cruz has ever actually won anything, personally. Even David Hogg has said he doesn’t think TX is red, it’s suppressed. It’s an uphill fight, but it’s winnable.

nrg10.bsky.social•25 days ago

With you there it can but we have to start at the locals! Cuz representatives are also being blocked from having any input at the state house! So we have to bust out some of those locals especially Abbott!

itscpendz.bsky.social•25 days ago

Tbh Abbott is so widely hated, I can’t believe the good people of Houston are consistently voting for him either.

nrg10.bsky.social•25 days ago

Maybe you read my post wrong, of course good people of Houston are not voting for wheels! I know lots of them, while I’m not from there, and they for sure want him out! But voter suppression and gerrymandering is very deep from these red hats! Power at all cost is their goal!

itscpendz.bsky.social•25 days ago

I think we’re on the same page here. I’m saying nobody I know in Texas voted for Abbott that I know of, and he’s gotten a liiiiittle too comfortable in the idea that nobody can give him the boot. 🥾 That suppression in TX might be the worst in the country, but idk bc places like AL and MS are BAAAD

majoad.bsky.social•27 days ago

In the podcast, Gregg talks about how, without voter suppression, Texas would be blue.

ecoastkay.bsky.social•29 days ago

Always thought so..

skizits.bsky.social•29 days ago

This report is about the people who wanted to vote. How about all the millions who just didn't bother?

willa-oczki.bsky.social•28 days ago

Let me spell it out for you Deb. The millions that we thought didn't bother to vote actually DID BOTHER but their ballots were either tossed out or their names were purged off the voting rolls. Hope this helps you. Or read the report.🤷

skizits.bsky.social•28 days ago

Thanks, Willa.
I personally know a few young people who did not vote. I tried & tried to convince them how important the last election was. I did read most of the report by Greg P (wonderful warrior). Wish it was a Federal action to sign-up for texts notifications. Ca let me know my vote counted.

qsvez.bsky.social•27 days ago

Currently happening in NC local elections. Allison Riggs won appeals court seat by over 700 votes, the Republican candidate, Griffin refuses to concede and is now suing to have 60000 votes tossed so he can be declared the winner.

litzz11.bsky.social•27 days ago

This reporting tells me we need to focus on the states. Take back control of the state legislatures so these attacks on voting rights can be repealed.

litzz11.bsky.social•28 days ago

I *almost* find this reassuring. When I heard millions of Dems "stayed home" in 2024, I thought, how could they not see the importance? What of the Harris campaign's sophisticated GOTV machine? What message did they miss?

Now I see they didn't "stay home," their votes were thrown out. Lawsuit time!

holly500.bsky.social•28 days ago

Excellent point. 💐 🌹 🌸

twidget58.bsky.social•28 days ago

There's a lot to digest here, but as usual, Thom lays it all out for you. Worth a look IMHO.

wewillresist2025.bsky.social•27 days ago

This is the best comprehensive evidence of voter suppression I've seen yet. Palast is ON THE JOB!!!!

majoad.bsky.social•28 days ago

The podcast with Greg is terrific.

everesther.bsky.social•28 days ago

📌

everesther.bsky.social•28 days ago

Why is this being reported on now? Less than a week after inauguration? How is it possible that this wasn't forensically investigated while there was still time to act? It was so incredibly obvious that something was terribly amiss, yet no one challenged the results. WHY?
And what can be done now?

nrg10.bsky.social•25 days ago

Democracy Docket and Brian Tyler Cohen amongst other have been reporting this from day 1! Where you get you news is key! National and local news are almost all complicit! Stick to podcasts and those like really trustworthy news! Not many anymore!

everesther.bsky.social•25 days ago

Thanks, Mima. I've followed both (and others) for years. Question was more rhetorical and a rant on my part🙄 It's just so disconcerting that the usual checks and balances are being eroded daily.

nrg10.bsky.social•25 days ago

Yes they sure are being eroded but we have to stay well informed! So we can be prepared for when the next shoe drops at every turn! Also I know I have been there myself ranting as well but I am putting my anger into doing opposition work! Cannot say what, but for people In need!

mrsmnash.bsky.social•27 days ago

The request for a recount/ audit was the sole responsibility of the election loser Kamala Harris. Despite receiving two Duty To Warn letters she did not. Why she did not is beyond me but was/is extremely disappointing. And before you @me Spoonamore had some things wrong but the premise was correct.

everesther.bsky.social•27 days ago

Agree. I follow, read and have reposted all of his early data. I was confident that if he/we knew, she knew. And would take action. Something wasn't right.
I suppose I was just shouting into the void with those questions last night, they knew this danger coming, should have stepped up.

nats44.bsky.social•27 days ago

Same thing with Hillary in 2016. She could have challenged the results. Who knew that 2000 Al Gore would look like such a Democracy champion in 2025?

majoad.bsky.social•28 days ago

Heartily recommend listening to Thim’s pod act where they discuss this. Video available as well.

criverart.bsky.social•28 days ago

And will mainstream media ever pick this story up?

bookerman62.bsky.social•27 days ago

Incredible research and reporting! I really had no idea voter suppression and intimidation was this widespread. How completely un-Democratic.
Now we fight back!

nrg10.bsky.social•25 days ago

That’s always been my motto, we have no room for halfway work!

nrg10.bsky.social•25 days ago

I k ew it when Texas started purging like 2,000,000 million votes. I asked democrat party just stated if they won would pass the John Lewis Act! But nothing continues to get done! If you’re not helping step aside for someone who will!

bookerman62.bsky.social•25 days ago

Agree! We need a souls to the poles drives to get people to vote in person, a constant review of voters removed from voter roles and assistance getting them registered, mass education on the need to return the poison postcards, etc. lots to volunteer for.

nrg10.bsky.social•25 days ago

Yes now it’s going to be a little tougher for us( whoever works to do this)to do! But now have to work earlier and more effectively in the grassroots! Yes to register and carry people to voting booth! So right!

WHAT CAN WE DO?

Voter Suppression contributed to GW Bush’s win in 2000. Is it a stretch to believe Mr Hartmann has it right again? Even if, no action will be taken by the fascists. As a corrupted SCOTUS is mostly in djt’s pocket, The US Constitution won’t protect us. Also, how many millions chose not to vote?

melinda2109.bsky.social•27 days ago

Imo, Repubs suppression made it look as if millions chose not to vote. They intended for us to believe that

I'll never accept that many of us sat this one out. Never

longleafhill.bsky.social•28 days ago

If this is true, then this is how Trump cheated. We have been looking for the method he used to cheat because there is no way he didn't.

Using a plan from the Klan sounds exactly like something Trump would do.

This is also why they want Voter ID, so they can instantly identify a person's race.

majoad.bsky.social•27 days ago

Please also see Gregg Palast’s page @gregpalast.bsky.social. This is well researched. Appears to be factual. It is outrageous.

kaly1903.bsky.social•28 days ago

This means his presidency is invalid. Will anybody with any power do something? What can we do?

kayla-ma.bsky.social•29 days ago

actually only about 30% of eligible voters voted for Trump, even though the Dems ran a lousy campaign. Probably half of those 30% chose trump based on the massive lies pushed by right wing social media.

albabe.bsky.social•28 days ago

100%!

diannelou.bsky.social•23 days ago

MAGAts don't care if he cheated...

If a democrat cheated to win, I would care. A lot.

jobycatjville.bsky.social•29 days ago

The only way they can win is to cheat. The GOP is a criminal organization.

oldtimeham.bsky.social•28 days ago

One way to combat this sort of voter suppression would be to get those challenged Dems to re-register as Republicans. That way they'd be less likely to challenge us and we could also vote in the GOP primaries to rid the party of extremists.

idaem.bsky.social•28 days ago

Could they register as independents instead?

oldtimeham.bsky.social•28 days ago

In states that have closed primaries, you can register any way you want and you can switch parties. The down side of registering with no party affiliation is you don't get to vote in the primaries. In a place that's solidly red or blue, the primary is the only election that matters.

holly500.bsky.social•28 days ago

Think 🤔 💭 it would be hard to organize. But will forward to gregpalast@blusky

oldtimeham.bsky.social•28 days ago

GOP is working every angle they can think of. Seems like we ought to be doing the same. In my district they ran a fake candidate to draw votes from the Dem.

volum1nous.bsky.social•24 days ago

Do you think this is something new, or it just started with this past election? Or, that it skips certain elections.. like if dems win everything is on the up & up, but when reps win its rigged? Do you actually believe Biden won, or that HE was running things these past 4 years? I'm seriously asking

kti781.bsky.social•29 days ago

Good background to support perception. The positive takeaway: Scoure Voter Lists & Engage 'Disenfranchised Voters' Now! Don't wait till Summer 2026.

'Required Citizen ID's' will be the next tactic (Exec Order/Congress).

Voter Suppression is caustic; encourages disenguagement within targeted pop.

thamilton007.bsky.social•28 days ago

Agreed.

bisquekits.bsky.social•28 days ago

This needs to be job 1 when democrats are back in charge. But also, shame on the majority of those whose votes were counted and shame on those who couldn't be bothered knowing what their fellow Americans were up against. Please do better next time for all our sakes. Thank you.

No, let's not give up, but let's also stop pretending cheating didn't happen. It should be the #1 reason anybody lists that accounts for the victories of Trump and those in his party.

They cannot win unless they cheat. Between such voter suppression,extreme gerrymandering,and Citizen United opening the floodgates for political dark money,the fact that elections are generally so close shows you that given a level playing field,Republicans would lose most of the time.

bisquekits.bsky.social•28 days ago

But they can't win even WITH all that if people are just a little big-hearted and spend just a little time cutting through the nonsense (or consulting their lived memory).

We have few people working on this at least we have someone like Marc Elias and his team from Democracy Docket

majoad.bsky.social•28 days ago

We need our Democratic leaders to be telling the American public about this. Every frickin day, o the Capitol steps, in the rotunda, on legacy media - no decorum. We need to hear from these voters who lost their rights. We need to be calling our elected officials about this shit. What else?

getyourfoxyback.bsky.social•27 days ago

They can do it all they want, but if mainstream media doesn’t cover it , what can we do except cover it here

majoad.bsky.social•27 days ago

It’s a great question friend! I have a list of Democratic leaders to call on Monday. I think those whose vote didn’t count should be reaching out to local media or spaces like MediasTouch. We have to be big mouths and raise our expectations of our leaders.

Interesting and makes sense. Besides fighting voter intimidation laws, helping folks register to vote properly, understand their State laws, track their votes... how else can we avoid this in future elections? Also, how to engage the 15 million voters that skipped this important one?

melinda2109.bsky.social•27 days ago

They voted. Their votes weren't counted due to an onslaught of suppression moves. Imo

sunnyphilyfan2.bsky.social•27 days ago

Yes. I worked to cure ballots. I can’t tell you the number of calls I had with people who said the had so signature mismatches.

People disabilities who needed to just get a ballot had had to make a written request for a ballot. No email requests allowed.
